Does anyone here have conjunctival chalasis (CCH)?

I was just re-reading the diagnosis sheet today from my last appointment at Moorfields 2 months ago and it says I have conjunctival chalasis (CCH). I remember the doctor telling me I had this but playing it down saying it was minimal and didn't require surgical correction.

LASIK Nerve damage and human NGF

Many of you know my background already, so I won't repeat myself here in detail.

I'm now 12 months post LASIK with dry eyes. The LASIK was carried out on top of existing dry eyes, unfortunately, I wasn't aware because I was symptom-free.

I've been trying to get better ever...

Newbie: 20 years old, 5 doctors later and dry eye cause unknown (maybe accutane)

Hello world,

Anyone had success with IPL?

I'm just curious to who has had some success with IPL? As im going to try it soon enough when i get enough money, just wondering has ipl helped you? Does anyone know, if allergies would counter IPL's effects of helping the oil glands work better? I'm a bit nervous to go for it, but i have half the funds...

introducing myself

Hi, I have had severe dry eye for 4 years, and am tired of looking on line for relief, as I have tried everything out there that is possible and I am only getting worse. I now feel the need to talk to other dry eye suffers to see if they have any advice. I am pretty desperate about now, never pain...
